Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Mm...cinnamon rolls...

I'm thinking I'll go to the coffee shop for awhile. Wonder if they have cinnamon rolls today...

Puppies are having stomach ailments. Poor guys. And they're losing teeth. And eating them.

I've got a few leaves left to get up. Need to do it before the State game starts at 11.

You've written 112,000 words since November 1?

And they're losing teeth.
IIRC, puppy teeth are sharp if you step on 'em by mistake!

OB is out doing the leaves, I'm inside painting. Just slammed my knee into the radiator going up a ladder; it will really hurt when it un-numbs up!

Ouch!

Well the front yard is done. I left some leaves in front of the gate. If it ever rains again i'd rather walk on wet leaves than slog through the mud.

I need to set up another raised bed for next year and dig leaves in the backyard beds.

No - I just cheated on NaNo by continuing a story I had started before.

I figure since I've completed a from-scratch story so many times before, I've earned the right to bend the rules a little. ;-) Especially as it's a personal challenge more than anything else.

Aww...been a long time since I had a puppy with wiggly teeth.

I remember when I was little, my dog Jo-Jo lost one while I was rough-housing with her. I was horrified that I'd been so rough...but she didn't really notice, so I figured out what was going on.

Even though I am absolutely impressed with your 30,000 words in 18 days, I was about to be blown away at 112,000 words in the same time frame.

Just for reference, it has taken me 1 hour to translate two paragraphs in a document from Arabic to English. Talk about slow going. It's like pulling teeth. Hebrew I can do a little faster.

Heh. I've got 14 just from the front yard and not counting what I've put into the front and side beds and planterboxes.

Haven't even started on the back yard yet.

I'm listening to the ballgame on the net and getting some more housework done.
